"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

Tripawd, you're such a gorgeous orange girl and also a very lucky cat. I love reading heartwarming stories like yours. Now you're living a wonderful life in a loving and caring home. Congrats on being COTD!!! Some of your pictures remind me of my Finnegan who was found in someones yard. As you can see I'm a huge orangie/buff cat fan and all of my cats were rescues. Here's a picture of my little boy Finnegan who is only about 6lbs or so.

Terrific Tripawd!

Hi Tripawd! Happy Cat of the Day to you, from me and my tripod (right forearm amputation), orangeman Tigg'r! (You two could be twins!) In fact I've been mom to 2 tripods (Tuna was my first, and her story is very similar to yours!) Well, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly you kids bounce back from your surgery, barely missing a beat, jumping and running and playing with ease, in no time! What an inspiration you are!

How precious are you, princess, and how heartwarming and heart melting are your story and pics...love all of the *bonus* pics! You had such a traumatic start at life, sweetheart. But thankfully your guardian angel led that awesome ACO to you that fateful day! Great thanks to him/her for rescuing you, and great thanks to that wonderful vet who so selflessly cared for you in your time of great need, for making your happy homecoming a reality! You are so lucky to have a forever daddy as special as yours, Tripawd! But I'm sure he would agree it is he who is the truly blessed one, having a beautiful best furkid and friend for life in you! And no doubt about it, you and he were destined to find your way to one another, with a little help from Feema, of course!

Enjoy your much deserved day in the spotlight, sweetheart, celebrating to the max with Mackee! I'm sure you're daddy's making today a very special day for sure, but please have him give you a bunch more hugs and kisses for me, Mackee too!
Lots of love and purrs to you, precious Tripawd, from me and Tigg'r and Mollie!
